@GovBobFerguson cut almost $1 Billion from state medicaid spending. This is next level gaslighting and you should be ashamed.

@GovBobFerguson @GovBobFerguson you signed TWO budgets that cut medicaid almost $1 BILLION dollars. What a liar....

We can't talk about our state's budget without talking about the Big Betrayal Bill, which cut essential services like Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. That bill costs Washington at least $165 million directly in this budget. We worked to mitigate those harms.

Washington voters have rejected a state income tax 10 times: 2010 — Initiative Measure 1098 YES: 36% | NO: 64% 1982 — Initiative to the People 435 YES: 34% | NO: 66% 1975 — Initiative to the People 314 YES: 33% | NO: 67% 1973 — House Joint Resolution 37 YES: 23% | NO: 77% 1970 — House Joint Resolution 42 YES: 32% | NO: 68% 1944 — Initiative to the People 158 YES: 30% | NO: 70% 1942 — Constitutional Amendment (Article VII, Section 2) YES: 34% | NO: 66% 1938 — Senate Joint Resolution 5 YES: 33% | NO: 67% 1936 — Senate Joint Resolution 7 YES: 22% | NO: 78% 1934 — House Joint Resolution 11 YES: 43% | NO: 57%

@Mazirian @jasonrantz Correct!

@RepCorry @jasonrantz It doesn’t help that a couple of our state reps and senators seem to share the same sentiments. Disgraceful.

There is an alarming rise in antisemitism across Washington State. This is just the latest example... We have fought hard to stop any BDS movements taking place in Olympia and we need leaders to step to make sure they are not taking place locally. seattlered.com/seattle-red/ja…

Just after Washington State voted to approve a 9.9% "millionaire tax" on personal income over $1 million, Jeff Bezos, Howard Schultz, and tons fled. The impacts will be ENORMOUS. I gathered the facts, stories, and data and made this mini documentary: youtu.be/9Vg0-7c0J3g

The good news: Washington's snowpack jumped up to 66% of normal for this date The bad news: 50-degree temperatures in the mountains will quickly turn that into flooding. Thank God the state is using the CO2 tax to fund flood control. Wait...I'm being handed a note... #waleg

@JaredWalczak thank you for this chart. It is a good reminder that states are competing with each other the consequences are real.

@Taxeconomist Thank you sir!! Sad day for WA. Great day for ID, TX, TN, FL and a host of other states.

Kudos to my friend, @RepCorry for his important (albeit unsuccessful) attempt to ensure taxpayers have a voice before Washington’s economic competitiveness is destroyed with the income tax

This news comes within a day of the personal income tax passing the Washington House. Unfortunately, this announcement will be the first of many, as Americans have always shown that they will vote with their feet across state lines and flee states with unaffordable tax burdens!

@jesseproudman Bingo!

The depressing reality watching this SB 6346 debate is that there is valiant cohort of representatives who have built something from nothing and understand the struggle and challenge that takes, and there is an unfortunately larger cohort who have never built anything and instead have taken from the first cohort. When I was a kid, the country looked up to builders, to those to create things from nothing and to those willing to take insane and illogical risks in the belief they can manifest something from nothing. This is what inspired me to become a life long entrepreneur., to take on the challenge of the unknown time and time again, and to put faith in the fact I could figure things out. I wish I knew when that lost its appeal... x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

This just in 🚨🚨Every House Democrat just voted AGAINST tabling the income tax. Next time a Democrat Representative claims they didn’t support it, just know that every one of them is now complicit in moving forward an illegal income tax.

Go Ahead WA Dems, Keep Pretending Capital Flight is Make Believe: I know, Pie Crust Pedersen and his friends tell you no one really leaves because of taxes while arguing in favor of the income tax. (And of course use the exact opposite argument in rolling back the estate tax.) So, I've been collecting some real time data. Above and beyond the emails and texts of people telling me and others about the latest person who packed up and left, here's some other evidence. Last Thursday, I had dinner with Gov. Brad Little of Idaho. We own an outlet and a good piece of property there we'd like to develop. Upon introducing myself and my home of WA, he laughed and stated, "You know, I used to offer tax incentives to get WA businesses to move to ID. We quit doing that the last few years. Honestly, I wish you guys would quit doing so many dumb things. We're running out of room!" He was very happy to hear we're looking develop our property and going to expand our location. This morning, I had a call with Gov Gianforte of MT. When I mentioned how much we love visiting MT, he offered to put his head of econ development in touch to look at informing me on all they're working on there. He mentioned a larger, unnamed WA based company with significant employee base they think will be moving there soon. "Steve, there's a lot of people and businesses from WA coming here." For the last 40 years our family has spent time down in Arizona as a getaway during the long winters in WA. We know a significant home developer here and were visiting with one of his associates that sells higher end homes. He volunteered that they have been flooded with calls from WA residents of late, and of their last 10 large deals, 8 were WA refugees moving to AZ for good. Also connected with a family that owned and operated a biz in the south sound for over 100 years. Most of them moved out of state soon after selling the biz a few years ago. They are actively in the process of pulling any of the family resources (which are substantial) to any state but WA. Instead of building and investing in their long time home, they are reluctantly leaving to put those resources to work elsewhere for the next 100 years. You'd have to be drunk to not realize what's going on. Yes, other states have income taxes, corporate income taxes, etc. But they're all LOWERING taxes, not raising or adding massive new categories on top of the current tax regime. And in the last week, I've had more conversations with Governors of states where I don't live, than the sum total of conversations I've ever had with every WA governor. To them, I've been a checkbook and "villain" not paying my fair share. I'd be fine being left alone, but your malice for the economic builders of our state is ultimately going to destroy it. I'm going to keep fighting, but given all the failure, you have to ask what the hell we're paying for anyway.

If only we had an example of what awaits us with this constant attack on business in Washington…

@jessfnaccarato @jasonrantz

@jasonrantz It required a first and last name, email, address phone number and bot check. It was more challenging for me to sign the CON side for this than it is for me to vote.

MASSIVE UPDATE: Washington Democrats call voters ‘bots’ as 77,000 oppose income tax in rigged system seattlered.com/seattle-red/ja…

BALL SECURITY. The Seahawks are the first Super Bowl champion to go their entire postseason run without committing a turnover 🙌

WA Senate Dems trying to ram through an income tax. I am wondering if @GovernorLittle's hand is cramping from all the thank you notes he has to write to Olympia leadership.

@GovBobFerguson But you’re also supporting the destruction of Title IX sooooooo……

I'm a proud softball dad. Softball has been a significant part of my daughter Katie's life, and she's going on to play at the collegiate level next year. This was a big year for women’s sports in Washington. We saw a historic and inspiring performance from the UW Women's Soccer Team. We also welcomed the Seattle Torrent to the Professional Women's Hockey League. Happy Girls & Women in Sports Day. Thanks to the many girls and women who have broken barriers to make sports more accessible to all.

Welcome to Washington.
